We'd love to see more games take place in London.
Ok
I’m good with cyberpunk
Me too
Ok
Well I am early
I always end up watching these before you buy after I’ve bought the game
Same 😂
I literally bought the game 15 minutes ago then saw this lol
Same....
Yep all the time lol
Lol. I bought the game NOV 2020😂😂😂😂..............
Whoops, wrong date
If we don’t at least give props for trying something new they will NEVER try anything dangerously unique again
That’s true
Agreed i miss unique games. Most games seem the same anymore.
What is unique about this game?
@@DomOfSin666 the play as anyone aspect
@@nuclearglory0363 Unique for an AAA game yeah, not in general though.
In the future, I would want a main character, with the option of bringing in whoever you want to your team. Best of both worlds.
Yep
Peace walker
Yeah, a companion system mixed with recruiting a whole team sounds really awesome. Not one game has done this before I think
@@noahs8495 That’s exactly what I was thinking
I mean I like being able to play as different people but I also want a main character, just because they feel a lot more personalized. I was really hoping to play as Dalton but no
"Sometimes NPCs looks weird or jacked up" yeah it's London, mate. what did ya expect?
I can't stop laughing 😂😂😂😂
LOL WHAT
that actually applies to most videogames I play these days
Imagine what Brighton could have been
@@TheSkulldraw honestly mate, I do my best not to think about that spot
Issues I've encountered so far:
-The game crashes every 30 to 45 minutes.
-There's a lot of wall clipping and items going through clothing.
every characters voice is unique so this bound to happen with millions of characters so hopefully they record a few more voices
I can deal with all of these. However, I cannot get mine to reduce CPU usage. I’ve even turned every setting to absolute minimum. Running 16g i7-8700 and 1070. Fucking optimizations. 🤬
@@bromanchoo9863 pc sucks
@@aidanfranklin5420 lol right now it sure as fuck does 😂
Yea I’m on console and I’ve experienced A LOT of crashes
This just makes me yearn for a GTA London remake or reboot or whatever. The Mod era aesthetic would be so cool to experience with the modern GTA engine and gameplay.
i love everything abt this game except that it’s set in that horrible place you call london for the bad music in cars to the cringe britain hats (so many of y’all don’t understand i’m not insulting you just your country so there’s no reason to be pressed and second you come from their so I already can’t take you serious if your trying to insult)
Yeah for real, I’d especially like them to go back to 1961 and 1969 but have actual licensed British rock for both eras
@@YGBLOSKII lol ok.
@@YGBLOSKII bro you ok?
Leo2Bandz stfu your just salty that it’s not the fortnite map lmaooooooo
i love how when game developers make games set in the uk they never include chavs or roadmen
I would get the game if it had roadmen
What the fuck are those?
What in the fuck
Hahaha straight facts this mate
It is in a dystopian future with drones so maybe that's why
Still hoping one day we get a open world triple A Sherlock Holmes game.
goodluck with that. I'm still waiting for triple A Avatar The Last Air Bender game

That would be so dope!
@@lukasboreisis6909 that would be a dream come true
@@oreoflores7204 oh the s word has 6 letters now cool
I just finished the game, here’s my tips to make the game more enjoyable and fun. Now this might seem weird at first, but they worked for me, note that they’re just tips, not rules.
1. Ignore most if not all side missions until you’ve completed every main mission. Side missions and recruitment missions sometimes breaks the game flow.
2. Have as few members in your team as possible, so that you could remember all their names. They kind of become personal over time and you starts to appreciate every one of them.
3. Get yourself a professional Hitman and a Spy, make sure they don’t have any weird accent. I played through almost the entire game with only those 2 operatives, they’re the coolest ones.
4. Have high recruitment standards, don’t just recruit anyone off the street, make sure you have a small elite team rather than a large one. The game doesn’t need you to recruit all types, so....Be picky!! :)
The things I’ve mentioned above applies until the campaign has finished, after that you wouldn’t need to worry about inconsistent protagonists. That when the recruitment actually starts and that’s where you’re safe to goof around and build a team of underwear grannies :D
GLHF
This sounds good, thanks
thanks i'll try those, right now i hate this game
I heard that the main narrative is terrible and extremely bland. Is this true?
@@izmirs. that’s every modern Ubisoft game
@@izmirs. I've heard its pretty dark similar to the first game
I've already bought. I havent even really done 2% of the story. I've recruited 15 people, done a few boroughs, and about 80% of my time is just chilling and watching people or saving random civilians.
ya i did a couple story missions in total and i have over 30 operators and have freed all the burrows lmao
Lmao same
Same, I started playing the second it launched and haven't really put it down since. My team is massive but I only just now did the mission where you infiltrate the cass meeting. So much to do. The replay value is high with this one.
What are ypur specs bro?
Ditto
"Eventually dull and repetitive."
The Ubisoft slogan.
“Settle for us until Rockstar produces their next masterpiece.”
Edit: removed CDPR
@@JC-li8kk underrated comment(s)!
@@JC-li8kk just rockstar
@@JC-li8kk yup that's why i play ubisoft games
all games are dull and repetitive. Take the most glorified game ever the witcher 3. Go from point A to point B run into complication spend hours fixing problem. Problem finally fixed. Go to point B. Wash rinse and repeat. Watchdogs legion is only boring to the people that play one dimensional. Guns blazing. Ubisoft has given us as players tools to mess around with in the world and all people do is shoot people. Funny story that actually happened. I sent some goons to hospital and hours later in my game they came back angry and attacked me. This feeling of messing with this interconnected world not knowing what may happen makes legion a joy and delight
Loving this game. I love the idea of being able to built your own team of whoever you want, whenever you want. Very ambitious and unique.
Yes and honestly the permadeath gives the game even more realism
Can you keep operatives car after you retire them?
@@shadowmatrixbc no you can't unfortunately
Well I don’t like it.
I do love that aspect but the game seems a little dry
Anyone else watch these even though they have no intention of buying the game too?
Me. I would buy it but my PC doesn't support any AAA games.
Id buy it but watch dogs 2 for me atleast was so meh that i lost interest for the rest of the franchise.
@@ML-fc3je Haha.. True that. WD1 story was a bit better imo but overall still meh.
Heard it was bland, lifeless, and boring. Also that the voice acting is horrible
I never played wd1 , had fun an enjoyed 2 but was never feeling legion and have not once ever even considered buying it but like these videos lmao
Ubisoft definitely deserves credit for trying to do something new with their games and they do give hella good worlds to play in. This game was better than I anticipated despite some of its flaws.
Some? Bro it’s so boring and it just feels like watchdogs 2 but shittier. Only thing that’s somewhat cool is the permadeath thing
Yeah well we all got our opinions, I'm enjoying it though and I'm sure many others are too
@@gamersgalaxy5885 Each and every character is playable and you find that boring then what is interesting for you
My favorite thing is how they’re systematically putting stuff from the lotr shadow of... series in thier games because they feel like they stole assasins creed
@@gamersgalaxy5885 thats your opinion dude I think its a fun game
I was going to get this game anyway but this just confirms for it.
I really appreaciates your thoughts. Im probably going to start doing guides and videos on this game too.
Wow my man GBG's here
YOO GBG big fan!
I actualy got it free because someone in Sony made it free for like 2 days
Same
It’s an ok game. It’s not great and it can get boring real quick. Get bloodline tho it’s good.
Jake has the most stereotypically American voice ever (in a good way).
I don't know why but I read that in his voice 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s just an American accent mate
@@madeintyo7021 they from NY bro
The new York comes out in his speech, but I wouldn't call it stereotypical.
And the clips show him driving on the right side (instead of the left) and shooting into the left-hand side of cars.
"game looks decent...." "lots of glitches" - yep, it's definitely a Ubisoft game. I'll give it a few weeks once all the bugs/performance issues are fixed.
Same
If this game had little to no bugs, at launch, it wouldn't be a Ubisoft game. I expect it to be loaded with bugs that CZcams has a field day with :D
May as well 1 y in my opinion. No rush.
What is fixed? XD bugs? XD hehe this is Ubisoft. Bugs are part of the ganes
Had 0 bugs in 6h i m always lucky whit that
I too am sick of those hacking floor puzzles. They should have changed those.
Yeah they try too hard to make those work. The slow hack mechanic is neccessary but they couldve changed it up a bit. Thats minor though, still loving the game.
@@nathanielbower6367 the puzzles are easy af
@@TheJusticeLeague they're definitely easy, they're just a bit repetitive
It feels less frequent from the other 2 games at least
@@bigberd5905 yeah they were very present in the 1st 2 games. I've only done 3 or 4 so far in this one
This game speaks for that phrase:
"As wide as the ocean, but as deep as a puddle"
Like every Ubisoft game. They lack polish, barely have anything but a sandbox with artificial boring buisy-work. And the bottom feeding fanboys defend that Mtx premium currency, 5 premium version having games. Don't they ever learn.
@@theblackbaron4119 Honestly ubisoft games are like iphones they're the same but people still buy it no matter what
@@neduxas- incorrect analogy. iPhones are of impeccable quality and they are good products, so people buy them. Ubisoft Games are like a cheap chinese phone, decent at everything, good at nothing.
@@krishivagarwal5189 overpriced tho
@@realdianac It's not overpriced as long as people are willing to pay for it. It's not only about the hardware, it's about the software and the whole experience and ecosystem in general.
Ubisoft: this game has no loot
Also ubisoft: what if we gave the recruitable characters rarity levels?
@Baba Booey get a life maybe?
In fairness, it wouldn’t make much sense if we constantly had professional hitmen walking around
What did you just say
yeah how does this mean it has loot? obviously random civilians will be walking around
It makes sense tho. We don't see a big population of hitmen, spies and dangerous people walking around openly
I happen to really like this game. One thing that I find funny/annoying is finding a character I want to recruit and finding out/realizing I ran over their son the day before lol.
Look at me channel i upload gameplay of Watch dogs legion
Yeah, I've had a few times where some really interesting recruits were untouchable because I had previously done them wrong in trying to get another, previous recruit. Like this one guy who was a former harasser of one of my favorite recruits. He had some nice perks to him, but he was sitting at Double-Thumbs-Down because I had "accidentally" blown up a steam pipe in his face in order to appease them.
@@ReallyKeepingFictional LOOOOL
You played yourself!
@@InnerRise
Lucky me then, I shortly after found a Kelley Captain with similar perks plus Uniformed Access, so getting played still won me.
@@ReallyKeepingFictional
You woulda found him ANYWAY so you are STILL down one NPC that you coulda had and wanted that you aint EVER gonna get.😉

Security: "Oh look, a guy with a big ass wrench and a mask inside a restricted area. He's totally not gonna do something crazy."
[EDIT: Just bought the game and now I know why Lmao. Love the game a lot!]
that is why they don't let you have your phone when you are guarding in the military
He distracted him with the phone
@@theriddler2479 I wonder what the notification was that made him so absorbed in making him forget everything outside tho
@@gazgridlock6620 he got a message from someone pretending to be his crush confessing his love. Then he ate shit
@@gazgridlock6620 pretty sure its a gross picture. Most of the time when you do the distract hack, the victim looks at their phone and makes disgusted sounds lol
Gameranx: you can play as “npc” (non playable characters)
Me: yes.
Non player not non playable but same situation
It’s Non Player Character
@@rjbrown9948 it’s the same shit
@@JohnDoe-ho5gg the real definition is non player character so in meaning they’re the same but in wording they are not which I said dumbass
It’s non playable character literally Ubisoft said that in the class 101
"I feel like this one needed a little more time in the oven"
>Took 4 years to make
>3 delays and a Console Generation later
*Cries in London*
4 years to develop is surprisingly short .
@@oisinneary54 for Ubisoft that’s at least twice as long.
@@CHIOTIS1821 that’s actually a good point
And Anthem had "6 years" just because they say it took 4 years doesn't mean they were programming for 4 year and that is what jake meant when he said it needed more time
@@oisinneary54 Well WD2 took 2 years and turned out much better than this, so maybe it was the team?
I’ve learned with Ubisoft games it’s never the wisest choice to buy day one. They tend to go on sale pretty quickly and it’s best to go that route.
Becoming standard with every game nowadays. Money isn't everything devs.. :|
Very True, in 2 months it’ll probably go on sale for at least 25% off
@@JBurnerAcc well it is, they need money to do literally anything, how much do you think it costs to develop a new game and pay the wages for every employee involved?
I got it for 8 bucks after using trade in credit and $5 off coupon. Not a bad price for this
@@a.garcha199 Do you forget about the CEOs of these companies?
I literally clicked “purchase” on Ubisoft Connect and this video’s notification popped up right after it started to download... smh
If only you waited 5 more minutes. This game is boring AF.
@@Lawrence_Talbot certainly seems that way about 30 mins in...
Lmao
@@Lawrence_Talbot I honestly like it
@@greetedfox06 I’ll definitely give it some more time but there was no wow factor in the intro. But we’ll see. I just learned how to change my clothes haha.
Not having a main protagonist drive the story is what hurts this game...
i recruited a spy early on and with his looks and accent he was perfect so i made him my main character for the rest of the game
Yeah like the other guy said you can have your own guy you identify to and while it takes time finding some characters so relate to a lot it is possible so I dont believe your comment holds
@@CommandantSchrdinger exactly. I've played it a bit and it is pretty awesome RP experience. You can finish missions in your own way a write your own story like nowhere else without game holding your hand too much. Again...it is kind of RP..which is about creativity/imagination or emotions YOU built to your recruit. But hey! Try to go with this on empty and shallow conformist generations
The game isnt flawless but is just as shallow as player playing it. End of
And the fact that it's a poopy game
@@DomOfSin666 No it's not.
This game is exactly what I’ve been starving for. Build my own team in a sandbox world and make my own stories!
If you can't build your own in the real world, atleast you can do it in the virtual world
If you like a sandbox, try shadow of war. The nemesis system is craaaazzy
@@jakemead9982 I LOVE that game!
State of decay 2 is like this but with zombies!
It's a difficult game but Kenshi on PC is amazing.
I just miss being able to wire money from peds and being able to see their texts or hear their calls. messing with people just isnt as fun this time around :/
Yeah I feel like they took all the best stuff out and replaced them with new kinda worst stuff
Yeah right, now its way more fun. You can stalk people as they go about their schedule, make enemies, and go after their family members if they piss you off too bad. Shit's amazing.
Yes that was so much fun!
I would just run around San Francisco and take people's money. I got rich doing that. It's not in this game?
@@RachelDavis705 it is. Its a special trait for hackers only though "steals ETO on hacks". So if you do a distract/jam/shock hack on someone, you get some money from it.
I personally like role playing as different characters being a homeless guy begging for money then as a police officer breaking up protests and arresting thugs. The game's most fun when you just run around London playing as different characters with unique abilities that can interact with the open world in different ways.
Should I buy the game?
All I did with Watch Dogs 2 was dick around and I didn't even do the missions. Glad it sounds like I can do that in this one!
@@RachelDavis705 yeah I got gangs to fight each other and just watched the madness unfold
@@vizeexoticz2973 if you just wanna mess around, yeah! I'm English too so seeing London in a big game like this was special. We can also hack massive drones you can climb onto so it means you can now fly around the open world freely like in GTA I've recently unlocked the magician who can hypnotise people into fighting each other and a protestor who can rally upto 4 people behind you so you can go around in a gang of 5 beating up enemies, best way to recruit people is by saving their relatives who you'll see getting abused by cops in the open world so you don't even have to do the repetitive recruitment missions after you get a few on board. If you liked WD2 for free roam this plays the same but with some unique characters to play as who have funny gimmicks like playing as an old granny or internet celebrity.
@@NewOrderOfAlexandria that sounds like exactly what I wanted. My favorite part of the 2nd game was fucking around with the NPCs
I've been playing Legion for a few hours now and I am loving it! I really love how you can play as anyone and recruit whoever you think would make a great asset to your team, it's a nice change of pace from the previous games! I give this game a 9/10, I think Ubisoft really did an awesome job with this game!

@@gameranxTV go to sleep
There’s a lot to enjoy here and for the most part, I am enjoying it, but MAN are the missions repetitive.
1. Go to a heavily guarded secure area.
2. Retrieve ________ from said secure area using a blend of stealth/gadgetry or go in guns blazing.
3. Escape the area.
Literally just summarized the ENTIRE game for you.
Guys who programmed the NPC system: lying on the floor crying after yet another week of crunch
Mission and level design guys: lol why are you guys so tired
They did the same with the other WD games and also with the Ghost Recon games lol. It's Ubisoft, what do you really expect.
It was the same with watch dogs 2, the thing is you aren't supposed to do the same thing every time. You're supposed to play how you want to with your chosen characters. If the game gets repetitive then it's kind of your fault for using the same characters the same way.
@@TheReck12 Not really. It's true that some characters have some unique traits, but virtually anything is possible with any character.
@@TheReck12 Your justification doesn't really make sense my guy. Just because you can tackle the same objects in different ways via different characters doesn't magically change the fact that you are still doing the same objectives at the end of the day. That just changes the approach...not the mission itself. The game is fundamentally lacking when it comes to mission type/gameplay variety.
Whenever I get a repeat mission I make myself go at a different approach and sometimes I go stealthily, like a madman or just an old granny and it makes it more fun in my opinion
Tbh most missions I tend to go in guns blazing. I don’t try to but once they see me I just shoot. Anyone who complains about this game having “rpg like mechanics”(healthbar) is just dumb cause one headshot with a taser pistol will almost always take someone out at close range.
@@dailyraptor7700 yeah it’s kinda realistic
@@marcusb3273 yeah agree.
I miss being able to go up to people and send a swat team on them

Thats shit was so funny you could finish a mission without even laying a figer
I don't usually play games like this, more often than not, my fiancé gets these kinds of games and I watch him play it. This time, I was so interested and excited to try it that I am playing through. :) so far so good. Im really fumbling my way through like a dunce. But Im having fun :)

That's cool you're interested! My gf loves the Sims but I like it a lot when she's down to watch me play other games even though she's not into it. Such a nice feeling. I do the same as well when she's playing.
"They did their best"
Yeah, that's what worries me. I'll buy this in a few months when it costs £10 and they've actually finished it.
Was thinking the same thing.
£10 in a few months? That’s ambitious. However I’m doing the same, I’m only buying it after Aiden and Wrench come out.
there’s minor bugs, but it is pretty much finished just no multiplayer. I can see why you assume it’s not done considering Ubisoft’s track record but it got delayed in March and they really did finish it
Amen. You've read my mind.
U got a point but it ain’t going to be $10 no time soon especially when next gen consoles drop..
They weren’t kidding when they said the London bridge was falling down.
It’s in Arizona
What?
@@m00mako94 London Bridge is in Arizona (got moved brick by brick but whatever’s) so you can say London’s bridge is falling down but I’m saying it’s all ready gone.
I was sort of making a snarky point.
The crashing is so serious, the gameplay is so monotonous, and the price Ubisoft released it without full features and bugs that have crippled some people’s ability to literally play the game. There is no way this game was released without their knowledge of how the problems involved.
Anyways, safe!

Ok the reason the voices are off to everyone is because every single person had their own voice, have their own schedule, salary, pros and cons, but the way they did the voices is they got an AI to twist up the voices of ober 100 acual Londoners. That's why sometimes they feel a bit off
I feel a big issue is the voices sounding tinny sometimes almost like you can hear it was recorded in 2 different places.
Lame excuses
Doesn't stop some of the voices from just straight up sounding like someone put them through a bass booster.

My cousin was one of them who played 1 and hated it and I convinced him to play 2 and it's been 4 years and he still constantly brings up how good it was
@@imadubsfan1 I honestly didn't like 2. It felt like it could have been a DLC if anything. So before Legion, 1 was actually my favorite. I felt like 2 didn't change enough from 1 to justify itself.
I wish you could still swat people, that was so funny.

I miss the big AoE hacks, like setting off every car alarm or causing a black out.
it's in London so wouldn't be possible either way
@@ChunkyJaffaCake yeah, that's in America
It’s 20$ for the next few days so wanted to see if it’s worth it and I’ll give it a shot
I got it and it's hella worth it. Not 60 or 40 tho
Worth playing for few days only
@Goku it's ight, I really like how the other people you recruit talk to you during story missions.
@Goku I anyway lost interest before trial ended lol. I only liked city and vehicles even thought handling was complete shit worse than in 2nd and 1st WD.
@Goku I barely touched the story mission. Im doing mostly recruiting missions 😂
I absolutely loved the first Watch_Dogs game; I didn't think it was a GTA-knockoff, or something that was overdone and stale, I truly enjoyed it. The second game was a gigantic turnoff; I didn't care for the tone of the game, it seemed too much like a parody. Legion looks super promising to me, maybe a mix of the best stuff from each plus new elements.
Yeah, it is like that! Npcs are more serious, some are jokey, and the AI is pretty fuckin funny, would recommend
@J. B. shhh let him be
My thoughts exactly, that's y I'm scared to buy this one
Watchdogs 2 was excellent! Still playing it 6yrs later.
for me watchdog 1 is probably the best story game on wathch dog but when you finish the mission and you want to free roam its just get borring
The game allows you to be so creative. If you use the same approach every time, it'll get repetitive fast. But if you're willing to try new approaches, you'll get a lot out of this game. I imagine that it'll increase the fun factor even more when you can work together online to create even more creative solutions to missions.
Guess it’s not for me 🤷♀️
@@Adrien_bronerif you’re boring and jus like doing the same thing over and over again, stick to 2k bruh
@@Adrien_bronertrue that. I wish i could get a refund on this and a lesson for me as well to not invest in Ubisoft games. Just aint worth the time & money.
I’ve been wanting this game for a while
@@joelapplin88 alright
Ehhh this game is interesting, but not overly great
@@joelapplin88 I agree. he is brutally honest in his review.
You can tell this guy in video does not really like the game just like moist but damn he shat on the game but very unfortunate that I’m gonna have to agree with him.
I think Ubisoft needs to go all in with their ideas. This game has a lot of cool features but I feel like I almost never get to use them. Instead more than half of the game becomes just another third person shooter. They should focus on encouraging players to use cool abilities instead of just shooting their way out of things.
Even as a third person shooter , it is missing features such as hip firing, blindfiring ,and switching shoulders.
Yeah I've been going through a lot of reviews trying to decide about getting the game, but I think the point of not encouraging anything was so that the player can pick any way they want approach a mission, I've heard in a couple other games especially where stealth is encouraged that it feels like the game pushes you towards a certain playstyle. So in the case of just shooting their eay out of things, that might just be the play style you've chosen, no offense intended.
they did: *stealth mode* but you have to decide to use it or not.
I think they need to not go all in on a single mechanic and actually invest time in making their games less repetitive and with a decent story
@@LawrenceLatrellJacksonMcknight I guess you’ve never played watchdogs before. Hip firing? Blind firing? That’s already not a common 3rd person shooter mechanic but now you’re expecting a series to add it after never having any of these? Tell me multiple games with hip firing 3rd person shooters.
Personally I am very fond of this game. I love the story, the gameplay, and the recruitment system. I know alot of you don't feel the same way, and that is actually understandable. The only complaint I have though, is the missions are repetitive. It's the same thing every time, just occasionally mixed up. However I still tend to enjoy these missions.
what do you recommend for me i want a game that can free roam like roleplay or something should i get wd2 or wdl
@@epoxyplayzph2550 I'm VERY late, but if you haven't made a decision yet I would say your going to get more fun out of wd2. Freeroam in legions sucks.

@@snickersnee6047 hey I appreciate your support bud! Hope all is well. Have you gotten your hands on this latest watch dogs yet?
I mean there's a lot of good John Wick style takedowns in the first game if you use focus slo-mo ability
Loving the game so far, a little repetitive mission wise and a lot of small glitches, I just mainly want them to introduce weapon and car shopping for characters.
I agree with you stranger teehee
I just finished it, I also missed being able to purchase cars, the way it is right now clothes are the only thing money is useful for, still I enjoyed the whole game
First off just walking in London during a pandemic is amazing. I think I spent about an hour just walking around the city. Second I love the idea of every single person in the game being a potential ally or even a potential playable character. It feels a lot like there is an uprising happening sort of like V for vendetta.
Anyone here after this game being added to PS Plus Catalogue? 😜
Hahaha meee😂
When he entered the car from the right side I was so tripped out, forgot that driver seat is on right side in Europe. Don’t think I’ve ever had to drive from the right side in a video game before lol
Almost all of europ drives on the right side and been playing this game for half a day now. Still get triped out every time i get in the car and i have to drive in the left.
That means that you didn't played Sleeping Dogs yet
@@Lucas66393 correct I have the game and was going to play it soon actually lol
I’m From the U.K. and still drive on the wrong side due to GTA and previous watch dogs games
Assassin's Creed Syndicate has you driving horse carriage on the left. And I remember that tripping me up lol
Permadeath and Hard difficulty enable truly brings the best out of this game. Makes you take missions more carefully all around
This is the only “before you buy” that I’ve actually watched before I bought something
Honestly, it's just nice to have a game where you can actually drive on the left.
sleeping dogs
The AI to me just always seems to jump out INTO the road, and I feel like that's a bit rough
They're just tourists who haven't figured out you have to look right before crossing

@@yore5 thank you. Yea I kind of gave up on it but now Im rethinking my options. Again its only $20 but I keep hearing not so good things about it. Like how would you compare it to watchdogs 2?
@@curlycarmello9047 Honestly never played Watchdogs 2. Played about an hour of the first one and then never picked it up again. Never been a huge fan of the series and I found myself enjoying this one quite a bit.
I'm glad that I've completed the main campaign in the free weekend
After rewatching this video and having played through roughly 36 plus hours of this game so far, I find that exploring, gathering tech points, and recruiting missions are the best parts of this game. Missions get repetitive and glitchy, at times missions are all out frustrating and poorly designed. Overall this is a good, not great game but worth picking up.
I'm really enjoying the game. Its about time a publisher attempted to really think outside the box with the open world genre. I've had experiences in Legion I've never had in any other open world game. The way the NPC's remember you and are all connected is mind blowing. I'll never be able to look at NPC's in other games the same again.
You've never played read dead2 then
@@quintonkirk285 for a game that released two years ago, rdr2 looks and plays better than any ubisoft game
@@quintonkirk285 I did play RDR2 and its one of my favorite games ever, however the NPC system in RDR2 is nothing compared to Legion. Makes me thing "you've never played Legion".
Where RDR2's NPC's are nameless, generic people who usually wander or stand aimlessly and sometimes have cool 24 hour schedules, Legion's NPC's all have names, bios, relationships, schedules, vehicles, jobs, homes, hobbies etc. They are persistent.
For example, I recruited a couple hookers and a drug dealer all from the same block of Brewer Street, when I'm passing by with my other operatives on Brewer, if its the right time of day I can catch my operatives selling drugs and soliciting sex, oh and I even see Pamela down the block, a rival hooker to one of my operatives, Kim, who I previously beat up to get Kim to join 😂😂.
I've just never experienced that level of immersion and emergent gameplay stories in any other game. Its fucking incredible. Stop being a hater.
How could you not even mention that multiplayer isn't coming to legion until december? That seems like something that should be mentioned...
Yeah this wasn't a very good review, but to his defense he did say it was only "first impressions". Like when he dumbed down recruiting to just being "running up to someone talking to them, and doing a mission". He doesn't mention the other ways they can join your team like if you see their mom being harassed by a cop and you save her, or you find the location of a person who's been harassing them and beat the shit out of them, or stalk the person and find them meeting with a blackmailer then tail the black mailer and steal the data, or recruiting their best friend who has a more favorable view of Dedsec.
I swear people aren't giving this game the respect it deserves and keep dumbing down its mechanics. The game is fucking amazing.
@@thedopeson is it? I couldn’t stand watch dogs 2 because it was so corny and hipster. Is it more serious?
@@REALzackychan the tone is much darker for sure. A lot of your cinematic experience will depend on which character you choose to play as, as some are better voiced than others. If you choose a super serious hitman to play as obviously it won't be as goofy as if you play as a flamboyant magician.
Yeah add some Co op to make up for the lackluster and short story, that sure sounds like Ubisoft haha
@@thedopeson sounds like a Fs cop then , appreciate you g
Playing with permadeath mode on so wish me luck gamers
Rip I would love to but I’m the person who gets attached to a random ass character and I’d prolly rage if they died oof :(
@@GeographyPal I think it’s a way better experience than playing normally, you should definitely try it out. And if you are that type of person you could always change the difficulty to easy
I'm playing with this also. Makes you play more cautious
@@GeographyPal I also get attached to random characters, and playing with permadeath on enhances that. It's why I love XCOM so much.
I love the idea of “play as anyone” it’s cool and you do have to change up your play style because you don’t have the typical “jack of all trades” main character so if you want certain things you do have to change. But I personally feel like this puts a bit of a draw back on a story like this because you don’t get attached as much. I personally feel like the jack of all trades would’ve been fine. And my idea for the implementation of this would be let us make our own character (and just have a couple voice actors just for some variety if you want selection) and that’s our main character then give us the basic hacking and what not but then for more specific tools and abilities you have to go and find and recruit people who can do those things. That way you keep the recruitment system but you can do more with one character and it makes it a bit more personal. I personally just like one character and as much as playing as multiple is cool I feel like something similar to the idea above would be cool to atleast see in a watch dogs type of game. (To go along with the specific character being recruited for your main character to unlock their abilities maybe you could bring recruits with you on missions and possibly some free roam. Just an extra idea so there not just being recruited and then never used)

not everyone has standards for their games.
@@Zer-xn7tg yes but some voices sound horrible 😕
For me one of the best moments I've had in this game was the experience of when I first got the street magician only to realise you can just get a random npc to start beating the shit out of other NPC's minding their own business brings me back to just starting random fights on saints row 2
The one thing that is a serious miss with this game is the voice acting..and how it was cross implemented threwout so many different NPC characters...I found myself cringing because an NPC just clearly didn't have the correct audio packet
When WD is released, everyone sort of thinks that it's gonna be like gta but with hacking stuff in it
So tired of hearing this for every open world game with violence
@@Brazillianboi69 you know that... ubisoft made that statement right? they really said that, there were literally facebook posts saying to people go to chicaco after they visited los santos lol
I’ve picked up this game recently and I’ve been loving it! I agree on the negative points you made however. But other than that recruiting and hand to hand combat has never been so much fun, you kinda have to have a great imagination to build your own stories around these AI generated NPC’s who you recruit. Great review 😎
I have a question bro is the moment good? Like is the moment stiff or it's smooth, I wanna buy this but I heard the moment is stiff.
@@psyct497 The movement is pretty good bro, the traversing works pretty well, the cars kinda drive arcadey and simulation at the same time if that’s your cup of tea. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Dope idea: You create the main character in the beginning of game then can recruit whoever you want to help you with missions. You have your own main character as the protagonist and you can switch between your crew whenever but the story still revolves around your character.
Issues I've had with my game:
-Crashes every few hours
-Puzzle wont show up in the mission Lost in the Process
3:04 you’re shooting where the driver is in America and the cop gets out on the other side lol I would have done the same
